Data collection in the field of medicine is extremely important for patient safety. It is viewed as a quality issue in several countries around the world. In order to achieve this goal, nationwide apheresis registries were planned. In 2003, World Apheresis Association (WAA) decided to establish a world-wide apheresis registry. Although some of the apheresis centers in our country sent data to this registry, we believe that we need our own Turkish Registry. For this purpose, we launched new web based apheresis software for donor and therapeutic apheresis procedures. This paper summarizes the characteristics of this new software. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
